Toshiba HD-EP30
Tried flogging mine on ebay but no takers - and you can now buy it new for £120 so I may aswell keep it (next time I'll get a media center PC!).
That said, I'm getting something wierd happening on a few SD DVDs (Leon) - Its showing the film (widescreen) but in a small box in the center of the screen (black bars at the top AND sides) I can correct this on the TV, but its not ideal, as its stretching the image from something that appears to have been shrunk - some SD widescreen films are fine (Hanibal). Seems strange...Something to do with the DVD or the Player? Given that it worked correctly on my old Toshiba DVD player id think the latter? |

Is your version of Leon a letterbox movie not anamorphic widescreen?
Some TV's have issues with HDMI aspect ratio switching, that could be an issue as well. |
